Not only the 'inner life' of the museum is worth seeing. The outdoor area of the exhibition area of the 'MIAC' (Museum for International Contemporary Art / Museo Internaciónal de Arte Contemporáneo) also serves as a sculpture park. Works by leading Spanish artists are on display here, such as Amador Rodríguez Menéndez, known as “Amador”.

The museum is located in the Castillo de San José, a former 18th-century coastal fortress transformed into a modern art museum in the 1970s by César Manrique. Today, it combines history, architecture, contemporary art, and spectacular sea views.
The collection focuses primarily on art from the second half of the 20th century (c. 1950–1980).
A particularly noteworthy feature is the restaurant on the lower level of the castle:
- large panoramic windows directly overlooking the sea
- views of the port of Arrecife
- modern interior design by Manrique.
